From playing Mary Magdalene in 2004's The Passion Of The Christ, to taking on the role of Persephone in 2005's The Matrix Online, Monica Bellucci has done her share of the eclectic. It's what she plays next that should be most challenging though, considering the shoes she must fill.

This is the woman who, newspapers say, has been asked to play Congress President Sonia Gandhi in filmmaker Jagmohan Mundhra's next movie.
